About this event
In this study day we will take an in depth look at the artists who lived, worked and visited the Lizard Peninsula since the 19th century.
We start by looking at 19th century painters including famous artists such as William Holman Hunt (1827–1910) to locals like Thomas Hart and his artistic family as well as William Casley .They were famous for their large watercolours of the rocks of Kynance cove and Lizard coast.
The second talk looks at artists who painted on the Lizard in the 20th century including official war artist John Platt (1886–1967) and the surrealist John Tunnard (1900–1971) who lived and worked in Cadgwith in the 1930s and 40s.
The third session looks at modern and contemporary artists based on the Lizard including Bryan Ingham, Vince Tutton, Barrie Cook, Johnathan Coudrille, Heather Howe, Martin Grimshaw, Janet Judge and many more.
As part of the live day at Falmouth Art Gallery works by some of the artists covered in the talks will be available to view from the gallery’s collection.
